Right to Information Act - Remedies Inbuilt


Ground realitiies are different

One has to understand why and how the PAs function and the rationale for their behaviour. Every PA is treating his area as his fiefdom. Leakage of any information to outsiders is to be arrested. It is the duty of all concerned to find out ways and means to refuse the information sought. An officer cannot allow the common public to understand how he functions, and also cannot allow the public to supervise him. If there is a strict law vis-a-vis compliance, such a law is bad to the extent that it bars the PA from exercising his discretion. Discretion is essential and is useful only when it is abused. After all this discretion is the real perk enjoyed by a PA. As long as a PA is able to cater to the needs of his superiors, his actions are not scrutinised. If there is no discretion allowed to a PA, he cannot satisfy the illegal demands of his superiors and hence the freedom is given to him. This system is beneficial to all its stakeholders and who wants to help the common man, an outsider whose interests do not fit into the scheme.
